The Samsung UE46100 is a 46-inchLED 3D TV. It’s a generously sized television, featuring the bulk of the features customary on Samsung’s newer televisions.
Not least of these features is the ability to watch 3D on an LED backlit display. The television has a full HD 1080p resolution at the standard widescreen TV aspect ratio of 16:9. It has a high refresh rate of 200Hz, necessary for a smooth 3D viewing experience, but it proves hugely beneficial for 2D viewing, too. The 3D effect relies on active shutter technology, which Samsung has been backing. While active shutter 3D TVs provide a better viewing experience, the glasses are extremely expensive, costing anything from £50 per pair. For households with many people who watch television simultaneously, the expense can stack up fast. The Samsung UE46100 is another entry in Samsung’s fast growing Smart TV range. This means that applications like YouTube, Flickr, Skype, and Facebook are available directly on your television. A wide array of apps is available for download, too, once connected to the internet via Ethernet or Wi-Fi (if the optional Wi-Fi dongle is purchased). Connecting several devices to the display at once is simple, too, with four HDMI ports available. The design is typical Samsung fare – with a thin, reflective black bezel around the screen’s perimeter and a transparent neck that makes the display look like it is floating in the air. For the price it’s offered at, coupled with Samsung’s design flair, 3D technology and the generous size, the Samsung UE46100 is a good buy for those looking for the feature set offered. For those looking for a more affordable unit, smaller sized televisions without 3D are viable alternatives.
